Turbo cancer rumors

The Claim:

Twitter influencer noticed that someone else’s colleague noticed that younger women are being diagnosed with aggressive forms of breast cancer, or what they are terming turbo cancers. What do they claim is the cause? “The dysregulation of the immune responses and the suppression of the immune system by these genetic-based injections.”

The Facts:

While breast cancer is not as common in younger women as it is in older women, when it is diagnosed in younger women, it tends to be more aggressive and have worse outcomes. Neither the doctor nor the colleague making the claim of a rise in “turbo cancer” backs up their claims with any verifiable scientific evidence. Their anecdotal claims have no controls or evidence of causation.

While one of the leading causes of death in 2022 was cancer, one of the leading causes of death in 2020 was also cancer. 2020 was, of course, before the vaccine even came out. Same in 2019. And in 2018.

study, which claims that the spike protein from the virus (not the vaccine) impairs the DNA’s repair mechanism–which could cause cancer–contradicts previous studies and has been retracted.
